Today I went to visit Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, Georgia. http://www.mercier-orchards.com/
What did they have? Everything.
Shirts
Folksy crafts
Soaps
Baked goods
Vegetables
Some berries
A few peaches (nearly out of peach season already)
Apple Cider
Hard Apple Cider and local area wines
Apples
They had a tasting counter to try some of their offerings (free). I tried several varieties of apple and took home some Jonathan and McIntosh apples. In another room they have the hard ciders/wines with a tasting counter ($6 to try 4, $8 with a take home wine glass). The Grumpy Granny hard cider and Just Peachy wine were added to my cart. I also bought some regular apple cider and maple/praline syrup.
The best part is, most of the 4 hours of driving was through beautiful mountain forests, much of them within national forests/parks. I even had a brief bit of silent driving when the radio seek function just kept running through all the channels.
